Daffodils ||Sukuna & Nezuko
@laminaerosea
“Sukuna! Flower shop! Flower shop!”
“I know, you stupid bird! I get it already!” The young boy shooed away the green feathered parrot that usually accompanied Yukari, knowing the bird wouldn’t stick around anyway. He was always perched on Yukari’s shoulder and very rarely Sukuna’s, which he assumed was due to his small frame. Regardless, it didn’t matter much to him. The bird hanging around him all the time would only manage to slow him down, one way or another. He watched the bird fly off, no doubt returning to Yukari with a small amount of satisfaction. After Nagare and Iwa left them, Kotosaka had gotten quieter...listless even. Sukuna had too, but he wouldn’t admit that to anyone. Not directly.
Jungle was essentially no more, having no king. His power however, remained even after he had been informed of his King’s final moments...or at least, what he thought to be his final moments. Even now, the Jungle app shouldn’t have been working as it was. Why was he suddenly getting missions again with high point rewards? They were trivial tasks, and it wasn’t as if he needed the points anymore as a J-rank...and without Nagare. He wanted to ignore it, really, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something else was going on. Yukari didn’t seem to be playing a prank on him, Iwa had died...Nagare had presumably died with him. And yet...
“...What kind of game are you trying to play now, Nagare?” Sukuna sighed and swiped at his PDA screen before placing it back into his pocket. Not only had the sudden new mission been suspicious, but after Yukari’s initial shock...he had the nerve to give him a list of specific flowers to get! What did he look like, getting a bouquet for a guy! Especially a guy like Yukari...Sukuna wasn’t cut out for this! Maybe Yukari really was playing a prank on him...it couldn’t have been that Iwa or Nagare were trying to get him up and off of his game systems or anything...they were gone! They had left them behind and...no, he couldn’t let himself get emotional now. He wasn’t some baby after all. Sure the terrible, boring, mundane mission of visiting the flower shop couldn’t have been explained, but if Yukari wanted flowers to brighten up the place they were currently staying...couldn’t he at least come along?
Sukuna spent a few minutes lingering outside the shop as if going inside would somehow bring misfortune to him, but he did eventually step inside. The mission should’ve been completed with that alone, but he heard no jingle to indicate his success. There must’ve still been something...for now, he’d have to focus on getting the flowers. Where were the employees? The J-ranker scanned the shop, his eyes landing on a girl who looked to be a similar age to him, with long dark hair and pale pink eyes. It was strange a girl their age was working here, but he wasn’t exactly one to talk.
“...You. I’m looking for daffodils...do you have them here?” His question was rather direct and phrased a bit too casually, but it was just in his nature. At the very least, he wasn’t particularly agitated or loud just yet. He was too worried about the mission.
